5 Best Kitchen Redesign Ideas for Your Small Space

Small homes have their own charm but it can be challenging to improve small, cramped rooms and maximize all available space. One of the most stressful and challenging tasks to complete is a kitchen remodeling project. Just when you think you cannot do a lot with limited space, here are the best kitchen designs ideas that you can try in your own home.

1.Open the area

Oftentimes, opening this area can be difficult. There are many concerns to be considered such as the improper placement of pipes. Still, you can open up a small section of the wall to allow more light and air to enter the room. Moreover, opening a corner can help easily connect this space to the dining area or the living room.

2.Take out the upper shelves

Upper shelves tend to crowd the space without really providing a lot of uses. It can make the area feel cave-like and cramped. What you can do is to take out the upper shelves and replace them with open shelves. Make sure to set a limit on how tall the storage space in this area would be. If you need to store bulky items, make sure you have a designated space for them rather than simply storing them on the counter.

3.Install an area for preparation

Food preparation is commonly done in this room. Therefore, it is smart to extend the island so you have a bigger area for your food preparation. If you cannot install a full island, you can bring in a sturdy table, which can be used both for food preparation and to serve a meal. If you don’t have an extra table, you can resort to a narrow console where you can place utensils and other ingredients that you often use when cooking.

4.Install pendant lights

To create an illusion of having a bigger space, you can take advantage of added lighting. When it comes to small areas, installing pendant lights is a smart move. These lights guarantee that the area is well lit and they add style. You can easily add a row of nice pendant lights to brighten the kitchen and to make it look fashionable as well.

5.Use materials that work together

For a small area, it works well if the materials you use are cohesive. It is good that you choose to use materials that complement each other so you do not cramp up the area. A small area can look larger if it appears put together well.

From start to finish Kurtis was a great company to work with. From the initial contact and design concept with Gregory Holster to the cabinet drop off team, the install team led by project manager Jeff Tuomi and the countertop company, the project was on time and all work was performed beyond expectations. This was greatly appreciated seeing as it was completed on December 23. All the people involved were professional and did an excellent job.

Shanna was our project consultant. Picking out cabinets along with counters can be somewhat overwhelming but her knowledge & experience helped us make the right decisions. Dylan & Juwan unloaded truck & Dylan check off ship ticket to make sure all boxes were accounted for. Courteous & pleasant to talk to…nice job of stacking everything neatly in our garage. We couldn't be more pleased with the service & so happy with our kitchen

We recently worked with Lauren on cabinetry for a master bathroom renovation. She was great to work on the design and selections. Lauren was efficient and responsive from cabinet selection through ordering. Our overall installation was smooth. We had some unforeseen circumstances impacting our ability to accept delivery of our cabinets on the initial agreed upon date. Kurtis was very accommodating in rescheduling delivery given our project challenges. We couldn't be happier with our cabinets for this project.

We had complete renovations to our kitchen and main bathroom. From start to finish, the design with Shanna was exactly what we asked for and Jeff stayed on top of the renovations, communicating each step of the way. Every worker was professional and the final product is elegant and functional. We were very happy with Kurtis and would choose Shanna and Jeff again.

We love our new kitchen! Kurtis Kitchen & Bath did an outstanding job, and Adrian at the Clarkston location was exceptional to work with—creative, patient, and really listened to what we wanted. The project was well-organized, and we went from demo to a fully functioning kitchen in just 30 days. Highly recommend!
